You are very welcome. I understand only too well what the suffering if like - I do feel that my physical IBS distress causes alot of anxiety for me personally. I lived a very fulfilled life until my IBS distress hit and now feeling pain and discomfort everyday and never sure what to eat has caused me too much to bear. AS a result I have limited my intake severely to certain foods and my health suffers as does my mental health. I really really pray that you find peace with the Lexapro and give it a try - I am not at all oppossed to meds - I just want to figure out if my IBS symptoms are related to an actual food intolerance or not. Bless you - hugs and prayers, Debbie
